CINCINNATI (AP) — Seiya Suzuki and Reese McGuire homered in the eighth inning and the Chicago Cubs rallied for an 11-8 victory over the Cincinnati Reds on Sunday.Nico Hoerner and Pete Crow-Armstrong drove in two runs apiece as the NL Central Division leaders took their fourth straight three-game series.
Austin Hays had two hits and drove in three runs for Cincinnati, which has dropped four of five.McGuire — called up from Triple-A Iowa — homered in the second and then tied it at 8 with a solo shot to right off Taylor Rogers (1-2) and the first two-homer game in his eight-year, big-league career.McGuire became the third player since 1900 to homer twice in his first game with the Cubs after Earl Webb on April 12, 1927, and Jim Marshall on Aug. 24, 1958. The 30-year old catcher was a late addition to the lineup after Carson Kelly was scratched due to illness.
After Ian Happ drew a walk and Kyle Tucker’s base hit, Suzuki connected on an elevated sinker by Luis Mey and drove it over the left-field wall to put the Cubs on top for good.It was the second three-run homer in the series for Suzuki, who went 7 for 12 in the weekend three-game set.
Drew Pomeranz (2-0), the fourth of six Chicago pitchers, got the win with a scoreless inning.
The Cubs trailed 8-4, but began their rally by putting up three in the sixth inning. Hoerner drove in two with a double and came home on a base hit by Michael Busch.Travelers should remember to keep any eye out for severe weather warnings.

Thunderstorms, tornadoes and other extreme conditions also can make driving and outdoor pursuits more dangerous.
The National Weather Service said a multi-day thunderstorm forecast for the south-central U.S. might bring large hail, strong wind gusts and a possible tornado in parts of the Great Plains through Monday. The National Weather Center said considerable flooding was likely from the Central Plains into the Ozarks and from central Texas to the Tennessee Valley.Like last year, about 87% of travelers will drive to their
